Les Choristes is a soprano and alto choir made up of students from across campus, most of whom are voice majors at the Don Wright Faculty of Music. The choir performs a variety of music that includes different eras, styles, and languages.

Les Choristes has enjoyed a rich history of commissioning and premiering compositions, including works by Canadian composers such as Andrew Balfour, Nancy Telfer, Ruth Watson Henderson, Jeff Smallman, and Sarah Quartel.

The choir has received awards in the CBC Choral Competitions and from the Canadian Music Educators’ Association. They have also been featured at MusicFest Canada, the Ontario Music Educators’ Association conference, and the American Choral Directors Association conference. Tours have brought the group to Ottawa, Toronto and Cobourg, and they recently collaborated in concert with musica intima and Andrew Balfour.
